Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.
Thank you on this labor day!!
When unions are strong, our communities and our country are strong. Every person in our nation has benefited from the labor movement. This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and unions who have fought for fair wages, safe workplaces, and sick leave for all of us.
Day 224 REALITY CHECK: The election was highly compromised. There was a coup. The Supreme Court was the primary lever. Everything we have witnessed is TREASON. There’s no way out of this without MASS MOVEMENTS of the people. No one is coming to save us. We must rise up in peaceful revolution NOW.
Chicago this Labor Day… Thousands fighting for what #WorkersDeserve

Happening Now — Washington DC: Pretty massive rally is forming at 14th and U NW.
💯
The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat. Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.
Honestly, the hour-long run and march of people shouting “Free DC” up 14th Street today is the energy I needed this morning. I love you, DC.
Kamala Harris would not be secretly trying to deport innocent children to Guatemala if she was our president instead right now.
If this is the “strong leader” they keep selling us, why are they hiding him like Weekend at Bernie’s? 👀
The police report that was posted said there was a domestic disturbance on the total other side of the freeway. They were probably slowing down looking and got rear ended by a young woman. He was not rendering aid or calling 911. Police came across and helped them. Total BS.
I know! That story is fucking ridiculous.
As we begin a new month, my law firm is litigation 51 voting and election cases in 25 states. 6 in Arizona 6 in Georgia 4 in Florida 4 in North Carolina 8 involve redistricting
I’m not an ornithologist. Can anyone identify the bird in this photo?
If all the documents were released, all the records, all the interviews, if every shred of paper written on the Epstein sex trafficking operation were released tomorrow, there would still be horrific things we’ll never know. Think about that.
Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥
Anyway, I’m glad to know the president is still technically alive so he can watch this tomorrow www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

This is, of course, false. The United States exported $83 billion in goods and services to India last year alone.
If they enact a new illegal congressional map, Missouri will be sued.
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
Today we celebrate the strength and resilience of working people everywhere. Nearly 300,000 federal employees have lost their jobs this year not because of necessity, but because of a political agenda. And while people’s lives were destroyed in the name of “saving money,”
Absolutely!
"No one in the administration – the president or anybody under him – has called anyone in my administration or me – have not called the city of Chicago or anyone else. So it's clear that, in secret, they're are planning this – well, it's an invasion with US troops." Gov. JB Pritzker
Good night 🌙
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
*Trump* may not be canny enough to be *planning* to weaponize the government in a methodical way, but "there are people behind the scenes...and they know what they're doing." @radiofreetom.bsky.social talks Trump's abuses of power and more with @timmiller.bsky.social:
JB Pritzker to CBS on Trump deploying troops: "He'd like to stop the elections in 2026 or, frankly, take control of those elections. He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
Tina Turner hits #1 today in 1984 with “What’s Love Got to Do With It” — a song she wasn’t sold on at first. “It was terrible. .. I was rock and roll. This was a pop song.” But her manager, Roger Davies, insisted. When it swept the Grammys, she dedicated the “Record of the Year” award to him.
When our working families are strong, Minnesota is strong. That’s why we’ve established paid leave, expanded the right to collectively bargain, and why we’re investing in the projects creating the union jobs of the future. Happy Labor Day, Minnesota.
A reminder on this Labor Day: Slavery still exists in the form of incarcerated labor. It’s long overdue to end forced labor in prisons.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
WELKER: Do you have 100% confidence in Secretary Kennedy? LANKFORD: I believe he's who the president picked. He's challenging some of the assumption - what is it about autism? He seems to be following the science WELKER: The science has debunked links between autism & vaccines for more than 20 yrs
9 Former CDC Directors who were all qualified for their posts are warning that deranged chaos agent RFK Jr is a danger to public health. I’d say he’s actively destroying public health and committing murder on a daily basis with his destructive monstrous agenda.
What would great is if everyone just acted like he was dead anyway. Publish obituaries. Just act like he isn’t there anymore. Front it out like they did with the whole “We won the election” thing. Think how furious that would make him.
The White House posts that the US has now taken in $8 Trillion in tariff revenue so far. Preposterous insane lies on an hourly basis.
Are we turning on one another in our homes? Are we consenting to abuse? Are we being manipulated? Gaslit? Are we victims of narcissistic abuse? Have things gotten out of hand? Get help, survivor. #GENERALSTRIKEUS
Happy Labor Day, Illinois!
We are suing Texas in two cases -- one voting, one redistricting.
Who gives a shit about proof of life?? PROOF OF DEATH works for me!
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
He may nuke us on his way out.
This Wednesday..... let the truth come out....
Venezuela wouldn’t give Trump a plane.
❗️The plane Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu was on was forced to land in Bulgaria due to suspected Russian GPS interference -FT There are reports that the pilots even had to use paper maps due to GPS jamming as they made the emergency landing.
Rs, before the Trump cult took hold, frequently railed (rightly so) against communist and fascist regimes that nationalized industry, indulged in crony capitalism, and substituted propaganda for free speech. (The five-year plan is working!) How times have changed. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
We do not fully grasp how damaging the SCOTUS’ presidential immunity decision was. What we know is it was a disaster and the huge damage it has caused is being compounded daily. That is because the result is a collaboration between corrupt justices, a supine Congress and a demented President.
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
OMG, is the real?
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
I like the rebrand.
👇👇
The President of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa called the orange felon a Russian asset in a live televised speech. Well done, this is how you do it. 👏
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
California stepping up.
Sue the felon! Sue Noem! Sue Bondi! Sue them all! He will win!
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
RUSSIA backs Hungary Hungary backs heritage foundation Heritage Foundation pushes project 2025. Which part don't you get?

"Rudy Giuliani nursed an injured crow back to life with warm milk, then drove to a place not a liquor store, and then got in a car accident. After this, an unscrupulous stranger littered the backseat of his car with scores of emptied airline-size bottles of Gilbert’s vodka. Two may have been gin."
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.
Trump’s threatening to occupy Chicago. Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order saying: nope. No cops for Trump’s ICE raids. No help with his fake crackdown. No collaboration with authoritarian nonsense.
The trumpstein files!
I'll take "The Epstein Files" for $500 Alex.

ICYMI: DONALD TRUMP RAPED LITTLE GIRLS WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN!
ICYMI (from 2019): www.vox.com/world/2019/2...
In Trump’s deranged brain he thinks war is peace. Nobel
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
Difference between a husky and border collie... 👀😅🤣 #dog #dogday #bluesky

If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
RADDATZ: One of the things they are trying to do in DC with the National Guard is have them back up local law enforcement WES MOORE: They are picking up trash
The Boston Massacre, which precipitated the Revolutionary War, was caused by British troops occupying Boston.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
